​ATCO has launched the company’s inaugural Reconciliation Action Plan in Australia, as part of our commitment to building and sustaining long lasting relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Pat Creaghan, ATCO’s Managing Director & Chief Operating Officer in Australia, acknowledged the contribution of local Aboriginal Elders, representatives and ATCO staff, over many months to develop the Reflect RAP.

“ATCO has a long tradition of working closely with Indigenous peoples in many countries. We are proud of the effective working relationships that we have already established with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia and see today’s launch as both an achievement and a reminder that there is much yet to be done to further the broader Reconciliation conversation,” said Mr Creaghan.

ATCO’s RAP formalises and outlines the company’s existing strategic and practical commitments to Reconciliation including development of a Six Seasons garden, employment practices and approach to supplier selection. Through the RAP, ATCO hopes to achieve its vision for reconciliation by building better relationships, understanding and trust in partnership with Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander peoples.

“We understand that Reconciliation is a complex issue that requires action at many levels, which is why we are working to further embed Reconciliation principles right across the business,” said Mr Creaghan.

ATCO’s commitment to Reconciliation in Australia reflects the company’s global philosophy of building and maintaining relationships that respect the unique cultural identity and history of Aboriginal peoples as well as contribute to sustainable communities and ongoing economic development.

“As a business we continue to work very hard to integrate this approach into our core operations and ensure that respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is embedded in the way we conduct our business every day and is reflected in our policies, procedures and recruitment practices,” said Mr Creaghan.

In achieving endorsement by Reconciliation Australia, ATCO joins over 1000 corporate, government and not-for-profit organisations who have become signatories to the RAP program since its inception in 2006.
